TEST DRIVE # 08

Whether you're trying to figure out how your character would fare in this setting, trying to get some samples together, or just dipping your toes in the water, you've come to the right place! The Test Drive is here to make your life easy by letting you see what the game is like without actually joining it first. So here is how it works:

1: Post a starter with your character, including whether they are a god or shinki in the subject line.
2: Act like your character is established enough in the setting to allow your thread to go places.
3: Take on any god/shinki of your choosing, as long as they're not already in the game!
4: Comment around to the other people on the meme.
5: Have lots of fun!

To get you started, here are some ideas for thread-starters! Feel free to come up with your own ideas if these don't strike your fancy, though.

Junky Jokes

There is a small spirit girl who is determined to hear some funny jokes before she passes on to the next life. Your job is to come up with some horribly bad, wonderfully funny jokes to make her laugh. Be warned, though, she's got a very serious face that's hard to crack.

Knights Knives

The swords of the knights at a local museum's exhibit have gone missing. They are praying for them to be returned because these swords are worth so much and such a great part of history. Hopefully you'll be able to find them, because otherwise those prayers are going to someone else.

Ludicrous Lightning

There's been a streak of heat lightning going on. It's so intense that sometimes the lightning will light up the night sky as if it were day and there have been numerous power outages in the area. Go help out the people who are without power and make sure that everyone can still live as normally as possible!

More Money

Who doesn't need more money? A little convenience store needs help since all of their employees have fallen ill at the same time. They're offering double wages to anyone who will work for them. Unfortunately, the store is a hot spot for misfortune and ghouls of various kinds. Have fun!

Neon Nourishment

Surprise! A very American man is shoving neon bright candy and cakes at everyone who will stop for even a moment, and he easily notices all Far Shore residents as well. Which means every time you pass him, you'll be getting more and more of this hideously colored food. Enjoy~

I did it because the fuck I know what that was.

[Nope, not for her, not him. Now if she had been nicer about handing him the bag, well, he might have done so. No, he just never saw candy like that so he wasn't going to chance it. It wasn't like he was attempting to choke down... well, the name and face was long gone from his memory, but he was sure he had some weird combination of food items as cooked by someone in the middle of a drunken stupor.]

Yeah, right. They don't notice anything unless you stand on their feet and hit 'em. [He could prove it right now, but these kids were too young to beat up just to prove a point.]

You never know, you may find an exception in some ticked off kid.

[Either way she's gotten rid of the candy and that was her ultimate goal. Just throwing it away didn't settle well with her sensibilities but she didn't mind if someone else did so.

She waves him off again almost dismissively.]

I'll repay the favor sometime.

[Yeah, he said as much that it wasn't and she knew that. He seems fun to needle though.]

Doubt it.

[Because even if it was some ticked off kid, Byung-hee was still even more ticked off, though about what he hadn't yet decided on. He'll come up with something if the subject ever resumed.]

Why doncha pay it off now?

[Because he didn't know if he was going to meet this person again and he was willing to put up with anyone so long as there was a meal involved.]

[Mai pauses there, first looking the man over and then looking off into the distance. She's weighing her choices perhaps. She's quick to make a decision though and gestures for him to follow her as she moves on ahead.]

Sure, I don't mind. Come on.

Great!

[And he just falls into step next to her. Usually he would be hanging off of her by about now since personal space and him never really computed but he was going to be nice and not crowd her. He may dress like a punk, there were times he could nice.

Just rarely.]

Are we going to get meat?
